FeedBurner Uglies Up Clean URLs ⇥

FeedBurner likes to put a bunch of analytics garbage at the end of perfectly clean URLs. For example, this post from The Loop has the following added when opened from the RSS feed:

?utm_source=loopinsight.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+loopinsight%2FKqJb+%28The+Loop%29

Shawn Blanc has a good workaround for FeedBurner feed owners. For users, try Alexander Kirk’s Clean URLs Safari extension. It removes YouTube and partner tracking crap from URLs, including FeedBurner-related parameters. Very clever.
